1st chair--- BEFORE, small rounded back chair
2nd chair--- BEFORE---Large chunky wingback
3rd chair--- BEFORE-- her dad's old pea green scrolled back velvet chair
Chair #2--- AFTER--- we did a straight skirt with pleats in the corners
Chair #3 AFTER--- we did no skirt, and ended with piping to let the legs show.
Chair#1---AFTER--we did a knife pleat skirt to show the legs. I wanted to make each chair skirt differently to add to the eclectic look of the chairs.
Front of arm on chunky wingback.
Chair #1--- in the room with upholstered couch and yellow chair.
I did a band along the front edge of this chair to hug the shape.
SIDE NOTE---
I've been working hard on my ebook---"Pillow Talk"--make pillows with piping and a zipper.
All the text written up and the step by step photos were taken last week. Next week it's all going to be put together. I have a great friend named Kelly that does logos and layouts, who's going to design and layout my book for me. I can't wait!
Here is a pic of the pillows I demoed...knife edge, mitered, bolster, ruffled, and piping pillow.
I made all the pillows out of oatmeal/cream painters drop cloth and used turquoise piping.
I am selling this collection of 5 pillows for $125 total plus $25 shipping. They will be available to ship on 3/10/12. (I need to make sure I don't need any more pics for the ebook first)
They all have down inserts. The 3 square pillows are 19", the bolster is 17" long, and the ruffled pillow is 15"x24" with a 1" ruffle.
Fabulous job as always. The blue linen is great too, different than beige.
ReplyDeleteWhen do you think the book will be available? The pillows look wonderful! :)
